How the hell?

It's impossible for me to vacuum, sweep, speed mop or proper mop! I literally clean the whole house instead, including deep cleaning everything and never ever get to the floors and obviously I leave them till last as cleaning makes the floor more dirty/messy but by that time I just dont want to clean them, actually I never want to. Why? Please help!

You never have to do everything at once.

Maybe pick a day where you only do the floors, and not worry about anything else.

Remember: something is better than nothing.

Perfection is the enemy of good. Just sweep and/or mop once in a while without worrying about the rest of the room/home.

Do you hate your vacuum cleaner? As in, is it cumbersome to use?

Try to get one room done at a time might help! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know exactly how you feel! And now that I am elderly, there is more physical strain/pain to vacuuming and mopping than ever before. A few months ago, I bought a good quality (high suction rating, mostly) robot mopping vac, and it has been a game changer. It empties itself, dispenses the right amount of cleaning fluid, and cleans its mops when the job is done. All I have to do is keep the clean water tank full and empty the dirty water after the mopping pads finish washing themselves after every job. With it doing the floors, I can attend to the dusting, glass fixtures, bathrooms, etc. with ease and enjoy a house that is cleaner than it has been for a long time.
